Story / Lore

From atop Mount Olympus, twelve rulers, all related to one another, preside over every aspect of human life.
Greeks acknowledge that their lives are completely dependent on the goodwill of these gods, so the Olympians are honored, respected, and feared. But time passes and humans are forgetful.
Like the most beautiful thing in the world becomes useless if there is no one to admire it, Gods will fade away if there’s no one that worships them. That’s why Zeus, Father of them all, decides to use a mortal, a common one experiencing one of the worst dramas in human life, to light again the faith of Greeks in the twelve deities.
Is the mortal offered a unique chance by a goodwill God or is he just an instrument?
And will this be enough to bring back the old beliefs or not even the Olympians can avoid the dusk of the era of the Gods?
